You'll have to earn those, and some are doing it already.
There will be upgrades by rank, game performance, and thread participation.
Basically, the better you play and act, the better the banners gets.

Did I hear as time permits you were taking requests on non gear weapons?

Either way when I earn/get an upgrade I'd love a red beard and shooting glasses. But I'm green shirt so I'm willing to wait my turn =)

I do have one final announcement: I will be away tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday from 10am-2PM (ish) and from Thursday noon til Friday evening to deal with final exams and my MCAT. During those times please direct all questions and concerns to M_renegade, Kneroh and CobraCrimson. Thank you.

attenton, gijoe: The battle thread is now ready for play. Intro story is complete, and teams and scenario rules are up.
